Xbox has been making significant strides in the mobile gaming arena, emphasizing their goal to transform Xbox into a broader identity beyond just a console. Their latest collaboration with Backbone, a renowned game peripheral maker, has resulted in the launch of the Backbone One: Xbox Edition, a mobile-focused controller. This sleek device is set to retail at $109.99 and will be available for purchase directly from Backbone and through Best Buy Drops.
The Backbone One: Xbox Edition doesn't just carry the Xbox name; it proudly showcases the iconic XYBA buttons, the Xbox logo, and a striking semi-translucent green design that's sure to catch the eye. Currently, this controller is designed to be compatible with USB-C devices, making it ideal for Android users, with potential future support for iOS devices should EU legislation mandating USB-C ports come into effect.
**Is the price justified?** The Backbone One: Xbox Edition certainly looks appealing, especially with its transparent plastic casing that evokes a nostalgic charm. For avid Xbox Game Pass users and mobile gamers, this controller could be a perfect fit. However, priced over $100, it may be a tough sell for some. While the cost is significantly less than an actual Xbox console, the premium for the branding might be a deciding factor for potential buyers.
Despite the price tag, Xbox's commitment to expanding its presence in mobile gaming cannot be overlooked. If you're curious about their mobile offerings, be sure to check out our list of the top 10 best Xbox Game Pass releases for Android to see what's on offer!
